I Got Issues

Immature: not mature, ripe, developed, perfected, etc. One word describes the Cleveland Browns to this point in the season; the only word able to make sense of them. The definition comes from Dictionary.com, but it could have come from the team’s Wikipedia page. There is no predicting their performance week to week, especially against goodContinue reading “I Got Issues”

The Heart of Jarvis

The fans received their first glimpse of Jarvis Landry as a leader last year on HBO’s Hard Knocks. The newly acquired receiver, fed up early in training camp with the practice habits of his teammates, went on a F-bomb laced tirade in a position meeting, letting them know the shoddy habits built during the previousContinue reading “The Heart of Jarvis”

Would he be able to handle the collection of egos acquired by John Dorsey? Week One wasn’t great. Too many penalties. 18 is obnoxious. The Browns lackedContinue reading “What the Hell”

Kramer, the best Seinfeld character

The best entrance in the history of television. Perhaps patrons yelling “Norm!” each time Norm Peterson entered the bar on Cheers is the most memorable. But for sheer, unpredictable comedy, nothing beats Cosmo Kramer sliding into Jerry’s apartment. The precision with which the door whips open and Kramer slides in is art. When watching episodesContinue reading “Kramer, the best Seinfeld character”

December 17, 1995 It was cold that day. There are no warm days in December. On most trips to Cleveland, the weather is part of the story. In a lot of ways, it defines the trip. On this day, however, it was hardly worth remembering. The Cleveland Browns would play their last game, maybe ever,Continue reading “Here We Go, Brownies”
